Download or read book Visible Learning written by John Hattie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-19 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and ground-breaking book is the result of 15 years research and synthesises over 800 meta-analyses on the influences on achievement in school-aged students. It builds a story about the power of teachers, feedback, and a model of learning and understanding. The research involves many millions of students and represents the largest ever evidence based research into what actually works in schools to improve learning. Areas covered include the influence of the student, home, school, curricula, teacher, and teaching strategies. A model of teaching and learning is developed based on the notion of visible teaching and visible learning. A major message is that what works best for students is similar to what works best for teachers – an attention to setting challenging learning intentions, being clear about what success means, and an attention to learning strategies for developing conceptual understanding about what teachers and students know and understand. Although the current evidence based fad has turned into a debate about test scores, this book is about using evidence to build and defend a model of teaching and learning. A major contribution is a fascinating benchmark/dashboard for comparing many innovations in teaching and schools.

Download or read book Successful Educational Actions for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in Europe written by Ramon Flecha (Ed.) and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyses and describes successful educational actions with a specific focus on vulnerable groups (i.e. youth, migrants, cultural groups e.g. Roma, women, and people with disabilities). Concrete data that shows success in school performance in subject matters such as math or language will be provided, as well as children, teachers and families accounts of the impact of this success. Alongside, there is an analysis of the relationship between these children’s educational performance with their inclusion or exclusion from different areas of society (i.e. housing, health, employment, and social and political participation). Many studies have already diagnosed and described the causes of educational and social exclusion of these vulnerable groups. This monograph, however, provides solutions, that is, actions for success identified through the INCLUD-ED project, thus providing both, contrasted data and solid theoretical background and development. Some examples of these actions are interactive groups (or heterogeneous grouping in the classroom with reorganisation of human resources), extension of the learning time, homework clubs, tutored libraries, family and community educative participation, family education, or dialogic literary gatherings. All these actions have been defined as successful educational actions, which mean that they lead to both efficiency and equity. Finally, recommendations for policy and practice are included and discussed.

Download or read book The Science of Learning and Development written by Pamela Cantor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essential text unpacks major transformations in the study of learning and human development and provides evidence for how science can inform innovation in the design of settings, policies, practice, and research to enhance the life path, opportunity and prosperity of every child. The ideas presented provide researchers and educators with a rationale for focusing on the specific pathways and developmental patterns that may lead a specific child, with a specific family, school, and community, to prosper in school and in life. Expanding key published articles and expert commentary, the book explores a profound evolution in thinking that integrates findings from psychology with biology through sociology, education, law, and history with an emphasis on institutionalized inequities and disparate outcomes and how to address them. It points toward possible solutions through an understanding of and addressing the dynamic relations between a child and the contexts within which he or she lives, offering all researchers of human development and education a new way to understand and promote healthy development and learning for diverse, specific youth regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or history of adversity, challenge, or trauma. The book brings together scholars and practitioners from the biological/medical sciences, the social and behavioral sciences, educational science, and fields of law and social and educational policy. It provides an invaluable and unique resource for understanding the bases and status of the new science, and presents a roadmap for progress that will frame progress for at least the next decade and perhaps beyond.
Download or read book The Effects of Using Cornell Notes While Reading Advanced Placement History Textbooks written by Noah Kalb and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Questions: To what extent does using Cornell Notes while students are reading their required weekly chapter increase their AP format test scores? (1) How does the use of Cornell Notes help them recall specific details that will help them distinguish between similar answers on multiple choice questions? (2) How does the use of this strategy affect their ability to support their essay statements with facts? (3) How does the use of Cornell Notes impact my students' attitudes towards the effectiveness of their study time and their test taking capabilities? Research Activities: Context: This intervention took place with all 16 of the students in an Advanced Placement (AP) United States History classroom; one student was a 10th grade student who had met the 10th grade history requirements by taking summer classes at a community college, and the rest of the students in the class were in 11th grade. This intervention was conducted in a medium sized high school (circa 2000 students) in a small city in central California. I was not the teacher of record in this classroom, but I collaborated closely with the class's teacher, who has had 30 years of experience, including several years teaching AP U.S. History. The demographics of the class approximate those of the school, with 8 Caucasian students, 7 Hispanic students, and 1 African American student. Only one student had taken the CELDT test and was Re-designated as English Proficient (RFEP) in 2003. He had no apparent difficulty with either comprehension or expression in English, and I do not believe his language background affected his performance during the intervention. Methods and Data: Before my intervention, I administered a survey to the students that ascertained their study habits at the time. The primary assessment that I used to examine students performance was the AP format tests that the students normally took about once a week. After collecting initial data on the multiple choice and essay sections of one of these tests, I then taught them how to use Cornell Notes, a structured note-taking method which involves dividing a page into two columns and reviewing notes a few times. This consisted of an initial lesson with direct instruction on the method, in class guided practice, and time in class for independent practice. The students were instructed to finish taking Cornell Notes on their own when they completed that week's reading, and they kept them to use as a study guide until turning them in at the start of that week's test. Students were given shorter follow up lessons to reinforce parts of the note-taking method that seemed to be lacking after students turned in their first full set of completed notes. Multiple choice and essay portion test scores were collected during and after the 3 weeks that students were required to take and use Cornell Notes. Students were then given a survey after the intervention to determine if they felt that using Cornell Notes had helped them and to discover how closely they had followed the note-taking method when working on their notes independently. Results: While individual student performance varied, the aggregate performance of the class did not change significantly during the course of the intervention. The class average of multiple choice section test scores went down slightly (just over 1 percent), and the class average of essay section test scores went up slightly (under 2 percent). There are so many other factors that may have affected the students' performance that such small changes cannot be attributed to the intervention itself. However, most students expressed on the post-intervention survey that they felt that using Cornell Notes helped them. These opinions did not correlate with student achievement on an individual basis, but several students said they intended to keep using them despite the fact that they would no longer be required for class credit. Grade Level: 11. Data Collection Methods: Teacher-made assessment, Observation - Field Notes, Survey - Attitude, Survey - Self-assessment. Curriculum Areas: Social Studies - United States History. Instructional Approaches: Reading - strategies, Study skills.

Download or read book The Influence of Journal Writing on Achievement and Attitudes in the Social Studies Classroom written by April Burke and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of journal writing on achievement and attitudes of fourth graders in the social studies classroom. A pretest and posttest were administered to measure social studies achievement. The researcher used a one-tailed, two-sample t test to determine statistical significance in achievement. There was no significant increase in social studies achievement found; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. An attitude survey was administered prior to and following the treatment. A one-tailed, one-sample t test was used to determine significance in the effects of the treatment on students’ attitudes. There was no significant change in attitudes; therefore, the researcher failed to reject the null hypothesis. While a positive trend in attitude was noted when implementing the use of journal writing in this study, the researcher concluded that there was not a significant effect on achievement and students’ attitudes in the social studies classroom.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
